In 2004 we were making documentaries for national television, a wonderful job but it didn’t quite tick all of our creative boxes.
We racked our brains, did a lot of research and discovered that no one was making decent wedding or event films.
Six months, and £25,000 of start-up investment, later we left broadcast TV and Gorgeous Films was born.
Since then we have filmed over 1,000 events for a variety of fabulous people including BAFTA award winning directors, sports stars, politicians, actors and even royalty.
The bottom line…
Having a beautiful record of an important life event is a valuable investment affording you and your family an immeasurable amount of pleasure over the years.
The day goes by in a whirlwind of excitement and emotion and when its over, nothing will bring your wedding back to life as successfully as a ‘Gorgeous’ film! Check out our show reels on the website!

10 years ago I started shooting reportage style weddings in the Dordogne and Provence regions in France. So 2019 is my 10th anniversary! It’s been an amazing journey and I’m still shooting weddings and most importantly still loving it. My style is what I like to call “Relaxed Reportage” So What does that mean?
Well it means that I will arrive early in the morning of your day and stay with you until the end. If that means taking pictures of you swimming in the pool at 1 in the morning then I’ll be there. For more info drop me a line via my website, look forward to speaking.
